Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Seven AFLP primer combinations produced 176 polymorphic markers in smooth bromegrass cultivars.
- Observation No ecotype- or cultivar-specific AFLP markers were found in smooth bromegrass.
- Observation Cluster and principal component analyses grouped the smooth bromegrass cultivars according to their pedigrees rather than by ecotypes.
- Observation The older southern cultivars grouped distantly to the rest of the cultivars.
- Observation The northern type cultivars grouped with the recently developed southern and intermediate cultivars.
- Mechanism The close association of recently developed southern cultivars with intermediate and northern cultivars may indicate introgression of northern ecotype germplasm.
- Observation Within-population molecular variation (85%) was higher than among-population variation (15%) in the 14 cultivars.
- Association Higher molecular variation in recently developed southern and some northern cultivars may reflect diverse genetic backgrounds of the source populations.
- Observation The older southern cultivars showed the lowest molecular variation, attributed to a narrow genetic background.
- Method / resource AFLP markers can differentiate phenotypically similar smooth bromegrass cultivars according to their breeding history.
